Gabriel Darku

Some people are meant to be in the show business, and they dedicate their lives to reaching the goals of one day being in a movie or a TV show. But there are a few who stumble into a chance and make the most of it; Gabriel Darku falls in this category. He probably never imagined himself starring in a Netflix series, but destiny presented a different path for the Geoff Allen actor.

Gabriel Darku was born on 25 March 1995 in Yellowknife, Canada, where he was raised by his parents and also got his education as well as his first employment. The actor also got his start in acting due to a chance appearance on a McDonald’s commercial while working at the local Yellowstone burger franchise.

Gabriel was not looking to be an actor; he only knew about the audition to be in the McDonald’s commercial through a friend who knew he danced and turned him to the casting team. Soon he was selected and was on a flight to Toronto where his one 30 second ad changed his life forever.

McDonald’s Commercial – Where it Started it all for Gabriel Darku

Gabriel Darku was in his mid to late teens when a friend turned him to a McDonald’s commercial casting happening among the employees of the franchise in Canada. He knew a little dance moves and looks were also his strong suit, which resulted in the actor flying to Toronto and filming for 13 hours.

The commercial was the moment he realized he wanted to be an actor. Gabriel moved soon after with a vague hope of becoming an engineer, but the acting was the one thing, which attracted the actor most. Soon he was selected into the Toronto Film School, and 18 months later, he graduated with a degree in TV & Theatre Diploma.

The moment the degree was in his hand, there were opportunities aplenty for Gabriel Darku, and he was playing small roles in TV shows. Most of his career is limited to the small screen, and he is still to make a widely released film. Now, the actor is starring in a career-making role as Goeff Allen in the Netflix sci-fi series October Faction.
